This is a 371 application of PCT/EP 95/02077, filed on May 31, 1995.

The invention relates to pyrroles which are anellated at bond a, and their use in pharmacology, as well as to pharmaceutical agents that contain these compounds.

It is known that arachidonic acid is metabolized by different routes. In the cyclooxygenase route, the arachidonic acid is metabolized into prostaglandins under the influence of the enzyme cyclooxygenase. In the lipoxygenase route, the arachidonic acid is metabolized into so-called leukotrienes under the influence of lipoxygenases.

The prostaglandins are involved in the development of inflammation, fever and pain, while the leukotrienes play an important role in the development of asthma, inflammations, and allergies. To fight these symptoms, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are used, such as arylethanoic acid derivatives, 2-arylpropionic acid derivatives, and anthranilic acid derivatives. These derivatives inhibit the cyclooxygenase and thus prevent the formation of the prostaglandins from arachidonic acid. Such derivatives are not used without reservations with regard to their side effects, however. Drugs that inhibit lipoxygenase are not available on the market.

European Patent Disclosure EP-A-397 175 describes pyrrolizine compounds of the formula: ##STR2## in which two of the radicals R3, R4 and R5 independently of one another stand for H, C5 -C8 cycloalkyl, C1 -C12 alkyl or aryl, which is optionally substituted by one or two radicals, which are selected from the group comprising halogen, NO2, C1 -C4 alkoxy, C1 -C4 alkyl or phenoxy, and the third of the radicals R3, R4 and R5 stands for CHO, CO2 H, COSC1 -C4 alkyl or A-X, where A stands for a straight-chain or branched C1 -C8 alkylene group or a C2 -C8 alkenylene group, and X stands for CO2 H, SO3 H, CHO, OH, or SH. These compounds are cyclooxygenase- and/or lipoxygenase-inhibitors, and are therefore usable in the treatment of diseases of the rheumatoid variety and for the prevention of allergically induced diseases.

If the compounds according to the invention have asymmetry centers, racemates as well as optical isomers (enantiomers, diastereomers) are included.

The synthesis of the compounds according to the invention takes place analogous to the processes described in FIGS. 1a-c, 2, 3a, 3b, 4, 5a and 5b. These processes are partially described in European Patent Disclosure EP-A-397 175; reference is hereby made to this publication and the literature references mentioned therein.

Initial compounds for the production of the compounds according to the invention are the compounds of formula II: ##STR5## where R1, R4 -R7, and X have the meanings stated above. These compounds are known in the literature or they can be produced analogously to known processes, for example through those described in EP-A 397 175 (X=CH2, CO) or through the reaction of aminothiols, diamines, and amino alcohols derived from D- and L-amino acids with the imide esters of correspondingly substituted carboxylic acids (FIG. 1b: A1/A2).

The formula II compounds are reacted with the corresponding compounds of formula III: ##STR6## in which Z stands for Cl or Br and R2 and R3 have the desired meanings; see process A. The formula III compounds are likewise known from the literature, some of them being available commercially, or they can be produced analogously to known processes from commercially available precursors; for example, corresponding acetophenones, arylacetaldehydes or deoxybezoines are treated with bromine, or corresponding aryl compounds and aromatic heterocyclic compounds are treated with chloroacetyl chloride (AlCl3) (see: J. J. Riehl, in C. R. Hebd. Seance Acad. Sci Ser. C (1957), 245:1321-1322). The reaction takes place in an inert solvent (such as ethanol, methylene chloride, diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran) in the presence of a suitable base (such as NaHCO3, triethylamine). If X stands for O, S or NR10, the reaction takes place preferably in an ether or aromatic hydrocarbon, such as diethyl ether, benzene or toluene; as a rule, the quaternized intermediate product precipitates out. This product is isolated and dissolved in a chlorinated solvent, such as CH2 Cl2, and treated with a base, such as triethylamine.

This reaction produces the formula Ia compounds: ##STR7##

If at least one of the radicals R1, R2, and R3 stands for a hydrogen atom, compounds of the following formulas IVa-IVc are obtained: ##STR8##

The compounds of series a, b, or c are derived from this depending on the position of the hydrogen atom.

This reaction as well as the reactions mentioned below are outlined in FIGS. 1a-c, 2, 3a, 3b, 4, 5a, and 5b in the example of the compounds of series a. The same is true for the synthesis and derivative production of the compounds of series b and c.

In addition to the process described in European Patent Disclosure EP-A-397 175 (process A), another process (process B) for the composition of heterocycles IVa, IVb, and IVc where X=0, S or NR10 is used (FIG. 2): The starting point of this process is correspondingly substituted 2-(5H)furanones (VI), which are produced from carboxylic acid salts of structure V and the halogen aldehydes and halogen ketones of structure III (FIG. 2), analogous to the methods described in the literature (a: Rio, G. and Sekiz, B. Bull. Soc. Chim. Fr. 1976, 1491, 1495. b: Padwa, A., Brookhart, T., Dehm, D., and Wubbels, G., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1978, 100, 8247, 8259). Analogous to methods known from the literature, these are transformed into 1,5-dihydro-2-pyrrolones (VII or VIII) (c: Matsuda et al. Yakugaku Zasshi 95, [1975] 190, 194 (C. A. 83 [1975] 42 780; d: Rio, G. and Sekiz, B., see above).

Depending on the condensation reagent used and on the second functional group of the bifunctional amines NH2 --CR4 R5 CR6 R7 -[B]a -OH or NH2 CH2 CH(OCH3)2, the cyclization to the anellated heterocycle leads to partially hydrated forms (formula I", FIG. 2: B1/B2) or to dehydrated forms (formula I', FIG. 2: B3, B4, B5).

If desired, a different substituent is inserted into the heterocyclic base structure, according to methods known to one skilled in the art. For example, these methods can include:

a) Reaction of a formula IV compound with a carboxylic acid halide HalOC-A'-COO alkyl, in which A' stands for a chemical bond, C1 -C7 alkylene or C2 -C7 alkenylene and Hal stands for Cl or Br (FIG. 3a, process C/variant A). The formula Ia compound obtained, in which one of the radicals R1, R2, and R3 stands for CO-A'-CO2 alkyl, is then treated with a reagent which is suitable for the reduction of the carbonyl group to a CH2 group, for example hydrazine, NaCNBH3 or zinc amalgam.

The reaction with the carboxylic acid halide is carried out in an inert solvent, e.g. diethyl ether or tetrahydrofuran, optionally in the presence of a catalyst. The reduction with hydrazine is preferably carried out in a high-boiling alcohol, e.g. diethylene glycol. The formula XVI compounds are obtained in this manner.

b) The production of the formula I compounds, in which one of the radicals R1, R2, and R3 stands for A-CONR8 R9, is carried out starting from the correspondingly activated derivatives of formula I carboxylic acid, in which one of the radicals R1, R2, or R3 stands for ACO2 H, by means of reaction with the corresponding sulfonamide, hydroxylamine, amine, or amide (see FIG. 3a, formula XVIII, A=CH2). Suitable activated carboxylic acid derivatives are known to one skilled in the art, the imidazolide derivative is preferable.

The reaction is carried out in an inert solvent, for example an ether such as diethyl ether or tetrahydrofuran, in the presence of a base, for example sodium hydride. The reaction temperature lies in the range that extends from room temperature to the boiling point of the solvent. The reaction is suitably carried out at room temperature.

c) There are a number of methods available for inserting the particularly preferable group CH2 CO2 H (see FIGS. 3a, 3b, and 4). The first possibility comprises reacting a formula IV compound with oxalylchloride (FIG. 5b), wherein a formula I compound is obtained, in which one of the radicals R1, R2, and R3 stands for COCO2 H. This compound is then treated with a reagent which is suited to the reduction of the ketocarbonyl group, for example hydrazine, HaCNBH3, or zinc amalgam. The reduction with hydrazine is preferable under the conditions of a Wolff-Kishner reduction and in particular the Huang-Minlon variant of it (also see point a) above).

Another possibility comprises reacting a formula IV compound with a diazoethanoic acid alkyl ester producing a formula Ic compound in which one of the radicals R1, R2, and R3 stands for CH2 COO alkyl. If so desired, this compound is then subjected to ester cleavage into the corresponding free carboxylic acid. (FIG. 3a, XVII).

The reaction with the diazoethanoic acid is carried out in an inert solvent, for example toluene or xylene, in the presence of copper powder or complex copper(I) salts or copper(II) salts. The reaction is carried out at an increased temperature, suitably at the boiling temperature of the solvent used.

A further possibility comprises the reaction of a formula IV compound with chloral producing a formula XIV compound and treatment of the activated compound with a dithionite, for example sodium dithionite or with a sulfinate, e.g. hydroxymethane sulfinic acid sodium salt; see FIG. 3, process E.

d) The insertion of a formyl group or methylol group into the pyrrole ring is carried out through the reaction of a formula IV compound with phosphorus oxychloride/dimethyl formamide (see FIG. 3b). The reaction is carried out in an inert solvent, for example benzene, toluene, or xylene, at an increased temperature, suitably at the boiling point of the solvent used. A formula IX compound is obtained, in which one of the radicals R1, R2, and R3 stands for CHO. This formyl group can then be reduced in a usual way, for example with lithium aluminum hydride in an inert solvent, for example tetrahydrofuran, or with sodium hydroboron in aqueous alkaline solution, forming the corresponding hydroxymethyl compound XIX (FIG. 3b). This can then be used as a starting material for further reactions for the insertion of the desired groups (process K, J; FIG. 3b).

Furthermore, the formyl group in a Wittig reaction carried out under normal conditions can be transformed into a corresponding alkenylene group producing the compound X (see compound X in FIG. 3b). If so desired, this can in turn be hydrated in a usual way, forming the corresponding alkylene compound (XXIII, FIG. 4).

e) Reaction of a formula IV compound with an anhydride with the formula: ##STR9## produces the corresponding formula I ketocarboxylic acids, in which one of the radicals R1, R2, and R3 stands for CO(CH2)n CO2 H. With the reagent already mentioned, the ketocarbonyl group can be reduced to a CH2 group (see FIGS. 3, 3a, XI-XVI).

f) A carboxyl group can be inserted by the reaction of a formula IV compound with n-butyl lithium in an inert solvent at a low temperature and by the subsequent routing of CO2 gas through the solution of the lithium organic compound formed; formula XXII compounds are obtained (see process L, FIG. 4).

g) Esters can be produced from carboxylic acids in a customary fashion by esterification and carboxylic acids can be produced from esters in a normal manner by ester cleavage.

The production of other compounds according to the invention is carried out analogously (FIGS. 3a, 3b, 4), optionally through further reactions which are known to one skilled in the art.

The compounds according to the invention have proved to be potent cyclooxygenase and/or lipoxygenase inhibitors. They are distinguished by a strong analgesic effect and by a uniform inhibiting action on the enzymes cyclooxygenase (CO) and lipoxygenase (LO) (IC50 LO/IC50 CO∼1). They can therefore be used in the treatment of diseases which are associated with a change in arachidonic acid metabolism. In particular, this pertains to diseases of the rheumatoid variety and the prevention of allergically induced diseases. The compounds according to the invention consequently represent effective anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics, antipyretics, antiallergics, and are effective against bronchial constriction and can therefore be used for thrombosis prophylaxis and for the prophylaxis of anaphylactic shock as well as for the treatment of dermatological diseases such as psoriasis, urticaria, acute and chronic exanthemas of allergic and non-allergic genesis. Moreover, they are usable to treat hypercholesteremia.

The compounds according to the invention can be administered either as individual therapeutic agents or as mixtures with other therapeutic agents: They can be administered as is, but in general, they are administered in the form of pharmaceuticals, that is, as mixtures of agents with suitable pharmaceutical vehicles or diluents. The compounds or agents can be administered orally or parenterally, preferably, though, they are given in oral dosage forms.

The type of pharmaceutical and the type of pharmaceutical vehicle or diluent depend on the desired type of administration. Oral agents can be in tablet or capsule form and can contain conventional excipients such as binders (e.g. syrup, acacia, gelatine, sorbitol, tragacanth, or polyvinyl pyrrolidone), fillers (e.g. lactose, sugar, cornstarch, calcium phosphate, sorbitol, or glycine), lubricants (e.g. magnesium stearate, talcum, polyethylene glycol, or silicon dioxide), disintegrating agents (e.g. starch), or wetting agents (e.g. sodium lauryl sulfate). Oral fluid preparations can be in the form of aqueous or oleaginous suspensions, solutions, emulsions, syrups, elixirs, or sprays, etc. or can be in the form of dry powder for reconstitution in water or another suitable vehicle. Fluid preparations of this kind can contain conventional additives, for example suspension agents, flavorings, diluents, or emulsifying agents. For parenteral administration, solutions or suspensions can be used with standard pharmaceutical vehicles.

The compounds or agents according to the invention can be administered to a mammal (human and animal) in doses of approximately 0.5 mg to approximately 100 mg per kg of body weight per day. They can be administered in a single dose or in a number of doses.

The efficacy of the compounds according to the invention can be determined from the inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase or cyclooxygenase. Experiments have be carried out according to Dannhardt et al., J. Pharm. Pharmacol. 1992, 44: 419-424.

The spectrum of efficacy of the compounds was also investigated using the following tests:

1) Phenylquinone writhing test in the mouse p.o., S. Irwin, Psychopharmacologia, 13:222-257, 1968;

2) Formalin analgesia test in the mouse p.o., B. Rubin et al., Endocrinol., 49:429-439, 1951;

3) Inhibition of arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation, V. Bertele et al., Science 220:517-519 (1983);

4) Inhibiting inflammation in rat paw edema, C. A. Winter et al., Proc. Exper. Biol. Med., 111:544-547 (1962);

5) Tracheal relaxation in the guinea pig, F. P. Luduena et al., Arch. Int. Pharmacodyn., 111:392-400, 1957;

6) Cholesterol-reducing action in the mouse, C. E. Day et al., Atherosclerosis Drug Discovery, Ed. Charles E. Day, Plenum Publishing Corp., New York, 1976, 231-249.

After 40 ml of water is carefully added, the organic phase is separated out and dried over Na2 SO4. The residue remaining after the solvent has been extracted is suspended in 20 ml diisopropyl ether aspirated off, and rewashed two more times with 5 ml of diisopropyl ether each time.

2 mmol of the corresponding oxoester derivative are mixed with 2 ml of diethylene glycol and 1.5 ml of 80% hydrazine derivative and stirred for 30 min at 60°C Next, 2.1 g of potassium hydroxide are added, and the reaction mixture is heated while stirring for 2 h to 140°C

The still-warm mixture is added to 20 ml of ice water and adjusted with dilute phosphoric acid to pH=3-4; the raw product settled out as a solid. This is aspirated, rewashed several times with water, dried in a vacuum, and then washed several times with a little diisopropyl ether.

Mixture A:

2.6 mmol of the applicable pyrrolcarboxylic acid are stirred with 5 mmol of carbonyl diimidazole in 25 ml dry tetrahydrofuran for 1 h at room temperature.

Mixture B:

3 mmol of the correspondingly substituted sulfonamide are dissolved in 20 ml dry tetrahydrofuran in an argon atmosphere, mixed with 3.3 mmol sodium hydride (mineral oil suspension), and stirred for 1 h at room temperature.

Mixture B is added in an argon atmosphere to mixture A and stirred for 40 h. The suspension is poured onto 40 ml of ice water, adjusted with dilute phosphoric acid to pH=4, and extracted multiple times with diethyl ether. After drying of the organic phase over Na2 SO4 and extraction of the solvent, the remaining residue is recrystalized from isopropanol.

The synthesis of 5,7-(hetero)aryl-substituted pyrrolizines was done as in EP-A 397 175.

The corresponding bromaldehydes were prepared, as in Riehl, J. J., C. R. Hebd. Seance, Acad. Sci. Ser. C (1957), 245:1321-1322, from the following:

2-Pyridylacetaldehyde Leaver et al., J. Chem. Soc. [1963] 6053.

4-Pyridylacetaldehyde Julia et al., J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. 1 [1978] 1646-1650.

2-Pyridylacetaldehyde Hey, Williams, J. Chem. Soc. [1950] 1678.

2-Quinolylacetaldehyde Analogous to Leaver et al. method (see above) for 2-pyridylacetaldehyde

3-Indolylacetaldehyde Plieninger, Weist; Chem. Ber. 89, 2783 [1956] Chem. Ber. 88, 1956 [1955]

2-N-Methylpyrrolacetaldehyde Hess, Merck, Uibig, Chem. Ber. 48, 1894 [1915]

5-Chloro-2-thienylacetaldehyde Mason, Nord.; J. Org. Chem. 16 [1951] 1869-1871

2-Furanylacetaldehyde Reichstein, Chem. Ber. 63 [1930] 749-753

The insertion of the A-Y radicals into position 6 was again done as in EP-A 397 175.

The intermediate compounds and final compounds obtained are shown in the following Tables 2 and 4. Their physical data follow in Tables 3 and 5, respectively.
